Integrated Pest Prevention

Using the U-Trap-It Strategic Intelligence System

The U-Trap-It System simplifies the complex issues which occur in industrial and municipal pest management. It ensures that pest management is being managed and assures the plan's success. Most importantly, the System greatly improves the quality level of pest management service being performed. It takes Integrated Pest Management to the next level. That level is Integrated Pest Prevention (IPP) which is stopping pest invasions before they occur. This is a proactive approach to pest management which requires more information than is available from traditional pest management tracking methods and pest office management systems. The benefits of IPP are overwhelmingly attractive to everyone. Not implementing IPP strategies are clearly demonstrated in recent events such as the one which caused over 900 people to be sickened and nine deaths from the largest food contamination and product recall in US history. This particular recall involved more than 3,900 peanut-containing products from more than 200 companies. How one company can impact so many others underscores why pest management should always be a core focal point and that someone within the facility needs to have pest management as their primary responsibility. It also points out why it is no longer an acceptable management practice to wait and see if pests gain access and then to react to the problem. Integrated Pest Prevention is now the required operating standard. The U-Trap-It System analyzes the Pest Environmental Data (PED) that the System collects to provide Strategic Intelligence to manage pests with the greenest of Green Pest Management approaches while providing the ultimate level of protection from pests.

Eases Compliance and Standardizes Data Across the Corporation

Not only does the U-Trap-It System help the user achieve a higher level of service but by using the U-Trap-It System it also greatly simplifies record keeping and eases compliance with regulations and audits. The System helps the user simplify compliance with GFSI, BRC, FDA, AIB, SQF, ISO 22000 and other regulatory or QA requirements by standardizing data collection and analysis across the entire corporation at all facilities. The
U-Trap-It System can be implemented throughout any company where ever their facilities are located throughout the world because the System can be used by both "in-house" and contract service providers. This creates a uniform data collection system for the entire organization and to ensure product integrity the System can be expanded further to the entire supply chain.

Tracks Factors Affecting Pest Efforts

Broken Loading Dock Door

No other system can compare to what the U-Trap-It System accomplishes. The U-Trap-It System is far more capable than a mere monitoring system used to record the date of pest control device inspections. To start, it gives the user the ability to easily and quickly capture far greater detail than would be possible by any other means. 

In industrial pest management there are a multitude of complex issues which can contribute to pest problems.  An important example of this is that the System also captures sanitation and maintenance issues while the technician is inspecting service locations. These are issues that could be jeopardizing pest management efforts and many times need to be resolved to successfully manage pests. They may require corrective actions to be taken by the facility's personnel.  The System tracks the status of these issues to assure that corrective actions are taken and documents their resolution. U-Trap-It builds a team approach between the service provider and facility personnel to conquer tough industrial pest management issues by providing a communication channel. Communication is the key ingredient in creating synergy to successfully establish a pest free environment.

Worldwide Use in All Settings

The U-Trap-It System is in use around the World. It is currently available in several languages with more being added. One of the reasons U-Trap-It* has such wide usage is that it is easy to use but feature rich. Users can use the System to simply monitor pest control devices or they can use the U-Trap-It System's advanced features to manage a ProActive Integrated Pest Prevention Program. And, it fits all size programs. The System can easily handle tens of thousands of devices deployed in a city for a rodent program or in a plant facility to protect products. The System can also track the services and inspections of thousands of rooms in a hotel or dormitory. It can just as easily manage pest management at your local fast food restaurant. It is in use at companies large and small, from Food Processing's Top 100 food production facilities to local restaurants. It does what you expect and more, and has been doing it for over fifteen years.

Facility Assessments

The first step in a Proactive Integrated Pest Prevention Plan is to conduct periodic Facility Assessments to evaluate the entire facility and grounds for issues that could affect pest management.  A thorough and easy-to-use method of conducting Facility Assessments is incorporated into version 5.0 of the U-Trap-It* System.  This U-Trap-It System feature does not require the use of bar codes to record the observations of the inspection. It uses the defined service areas and our Inspection Builder Technology* to record the observations. The Inspection Builder is a unique method of recording observations on the handheld to create an inspection report with complete sentences that a layman can understand. And, it’s done without typing any words or sentences on the handheld. It's a fast and very accurate method to record observations. Only the U-Trap-It System has this technology. If any issues are found then the System goes further to Alert the users and track the resolution of the issues to ensure they are corrected.

U-Trap-It Benefits Poll

What is the greatest benefit of using the U-Trap-It System?

Alerts and User Defined Thresholds

Site Plan Alert Status

New in  U-Trap-It* System version 5.0 is the capability to automatically analyze collected information to determine if conditions exist which exceed thresholds set by the user.  The System will create an Alert if a threshold is exceeded. This Alert will be displayed on both the desktop computer and the handheld. On the handheld the tech will be presented with any Alerts which have been generated when they service the Service Area where the conditions exceeded the threshold. The technician can then record what corrective action(s) was taken to remedy the condition. If none is taken then the Alert will stay active. If the technician takes corrective actions, they can easily record them on the handheld which will then update the System Alert. 

U-Trap-It Report Generator

To easily fulfill the user's need for information the U-Trap-It System incorporates a unique automated report generator. This feature, which is only available in the web-based versions of the U-Trap-It System, enables the user to schedule the automated delivery of reports and graphs to fulfill informational needs. The user can use the U-Trap-It Report Generator to customize a schedule to auto-generate one or more reports and/or graphs to be sent to one email address or multiple addresses. Scheduling the auto-generation is easily controlled by the user. Once a report or graph has been scheduled it will auto-generate based on the reporting frequency chosen. The user can generate the same reports for all their clients and also generate specific reports to fit the needs of other clients. The reports are created and sent via email in PDF format. This feature eliminates the need for the client to directly access the U-Trap-It System to obtain their report information. It makes the reporting and graphing features of U-Trap-It easily accessible to all clients. If the client wishes to see more detail or additional information related to their account they still have the ability to log in to the U-Trap-It System.
